Beset with financial problems, the club went into administration in January 1995, and by the end of the1994–95season faced the threat of being expelled from the Football League and closed down.In June 1995, however, a London-based businessman,Paul Scally, stepped in and bought the club.He brought in new managerTony Pulis, who led Gillingham to promotion in his first season, finishing second in the old Division Three (nowFootball League Two).

In 1999 the Gills made the play-offs but lost in theDivision Twoplay-off final toManchester City. The Gills were 2–0 up with less than two minutes left only to see City score twice, the equaliser in injury time, and go on to win 3–1 in apenalty shoot-out.
